Gas prices?
I generally buy Shell or BP, but it seems wherever I buy it, Shell Premium seems to be at least 10% higher than any other premium gas. Is this just local or widespread? If widespread, why is that?

Is Shell Premium Premium Ethanol-free in the US? That might explain the higher price. Here in Canada, Shell Premium does not contain Ethanol and its price is a bit higher compared to other Ethanol-laden Premium fuel.

In my areas Shell is usually competitive with other brands. BP is the one that is normally higher than the competition.

Here in Connecticut, Shell is also about 10% higher than the second most expensive brand at most stations but we have one which is competitive. I tend to use COSTCO since they are both top tier and lowest price. I am fortunate to have two COSTCO clubs within 10 miles of my house.

In North FL the price for 93 is the same regardless of where I go (as long as it's a name brand station like Shell, BP, Mobil, etc.). I have the Shell Fuel Rewards card so I get 5 cents off a gallon every day and, when I buy groceries and go out to dinner, I typically get 20-35 cents off a gallon for the next fill-up so a great savings and the card is free!

Chicagoland here, Regular is usually the same for BP and Shell but for Premium BP is usually 20-40 cent higher. I always get Shell, signed up for fuel rewards also. There is also one Shell station that is on Tuesdays 20-50 cent cheaper than any other Shell.

In Atlanta GA - Shell is always a little more expensive... but not 10%, maybe $0.10. Never noticed BP being higher.. don't fill there very often.
I fill up at QT in GA... ethanol free, have never had a problem with it, and its on par with prices all around us. |
